"It gives the Council of Oman and legislative control, as specified in the Basic Law of the State and other applicable laws," the decree, carried by state news agency, ONA.
The decree also includes the order of the Sultan to form a technical committee of experts to amend the Basic Law of the State to accommodate the new powers of the Majlis al Dawla. This committee will "lift its report to His Majesty the Sultan during a period of not more than 30 days." Omani Parliament is made also by the Majlis al-Shura or Consultative Assembly, a chamber of elected representation in voting, but whose functions are also purely advisory.
With the new reforms announced by the sultan, forced by popular protests, Parliament could increase their skills and to democratize politics and Oman, Said Bin but still retains a veto over any legislation passed.
